The World of the P4 Companies
Feature: P4 Urges Security Preparedness
as Election Day Draws Near
We are living in a time where social and cultural climates have become strained and often polarized - leading to angst, rising tensions and unpredictable behaviors across our great country. Add in the fast-approaching, and emotionally-charged presidential election, and we find ourselves in an environment that is ripe for volatility.

To help meet any security challenges that could arise in the coming weeks, the P4 Companies are offering guidance and resources to our clients, partners and citizens-at-large. Our team of trusted security providers is urging all community members to remain aware and vigilant in anticipation of potential protests and/or civil unrest, which could occur in the days leading up to, and following the November 3 Presidential Election. It is further suggested that organizations consistently and proactively assess new or ongoing needs for off-duty law enforcement support in advance, as it is anticipated that local law enforcement will have minimal to no availability to provide ancillary support in the case of large-scale civil unrest.

During times like these, where uncertain and unstable situations can quickly emerge, P4’s highest emphasis is on preserving life, preventing bodily harm, and averting theft and property damage, when possible. To learn more about noteworthy security points to be especially mindful of in the latter part of October and beginning of November, click here, call us at 312-502-1702 or email info@p4secure.com to make arrangements for additional security support. Stay safe and be well.
